Leave It To The Little Blue Box

While all the politicans, investors and union representatives squabble over what will become of the World Trade Center site, Tiffany & Co. has quietly gone ahead and signed a lease on a new retail space around the corner from the Stock Exchange. This makes only the second T&Co store in Manhattan (the first being the flagship 5th Avenue forever immortalized by Audrey Hepburn as Holly Golightly from Truman Capote's short story).

Not to be outdone, Hermes has announced that it's now shopping for space in the area, too. I'm loving not having to go to midtown to get my little blue box fix. Let's hope the trend continues and wrestling with the crowds in SoHo becomes unnecessary as well.
